Received this today. I haven't started reading but did look at a few photos, including this I share of Jose Garcia Villa in his New York apartment --
I highlight this photo (instead of that Gotham group photo which included that Brit who exoticized him green) because there's a (moving) reference to it in Jessica Hagedorn's essay in The Halo-Halo Review, which will be gone offline as of September (so read it while you can). To wit, when JGV said, "Most people think I live in splendor. This apartment looks like a bodega." Yes, as Jessica notes, "Intense and proud to the end. Weren't they all?"
